READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt) Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the ancient. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 76. According to the passage, we now know ___. A. more and more about food and health B. food and health C. how to keep fit and stay healthy D. health is not important 77. People take certain vitamin pills when they ___. A. want to develop their muscle. B. find their bodies are short of something C. want to prevent their diseases D. are strong enough to work everything 78. The writer thinks we should ___. A. have balanced food B. be careful in choosing food C. eat simple food D. go on a diet 79. According to the passage, to get proteins we must eat ___.

READING COMPREHENSION. (1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). For some strange reason parents insist on taking their children to visit relatives and friends of theirs who are among the most boring people the human race has ever produced. What is worse, parents insist during these visits that their children: (a) dress in ‘smart’ uncomfortable clothes; (b) remain silent during the visit, with only the occasional spot of quiet breathing allowed. It has always struck us that this is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of parents. They spend years teaching their children to walk and talk, and as soon as they can they tell them‘Sit down and keep quiet'. Why do they insist on their children accompanying them on these awful visits? When their child complains, parents say, ‘If you don’t shut up we'll leave you here and go without you'. When the child says, ‘Good, that's what I want,' the parents ignore this remark and force their offspring into hideous clothes, bundle them into the nearest form of transport, and force them to endure mind numbing boredom for what seems like two eternities. 101. Parents permit their children to say so much during their visit to their relatives or friends. 102. Children actually would not like to accompany their parents on these visits. 103.

There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 76. According to the passage, we now know ___. A. more and more about food and health B. food and health C. how to keep fit and stay healthy D. health is not important 77. People take certain vitamin pills when they ___.

For some strange reason parents insist on taking their children to visit relatives and friends of theirs who are among the most boring people the human race has ever produced. What is worse, parents insist during these visits that their children: (a) dress in ‘smart’ uncomfortable clothes; (b) remain silent during the visit, with only the occasional spot of quiet breathing allowed. It has always struck us that this is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of parents. They spend years teaching their children to walk and talk, and as soon as they can they tell them ‘Sit down and keep quiet'. Why do they insist on their children accompanying them on these awful visits? When their child complains, parents say, ‘If you don’t shut up we'll leave you here and go without you'. When the child says, ‘Good, that's what I want,' the parents ignore this remark and force their offspring into hideous clothes, bundle them into the nearest form of transport, and force them to endure mind numbing boredom for what seems like two eternities. 101. Parents permit their children to say so much during their visit to their relatives or friends. F 102. Children actually would not like to accompany their parents on these visits. T 103.
